Entertainment Reviews:
An intelligent, if non-illuminating, look at an organization.
Hollywood Reporter
Never delivers either the thrill of its underworld setting or much insight into its complicated workings.

You may be curious about what they're up to when the cameras are turned off, but you'll never find out.

If you're expecting a real-life version of a bloody Takashi Miike movie, forget it.

New York Times
I kept looking for signs that Young Yakuza was a scripted mockumentary. But eventually I came to believe Limosin's claims, simply because, with all the options fiction provides, no one would deliberately construct so dull and meandering a story.
